The Turning Seventeen series consists of nine young adult novels by Wendy Corsi Staub, published rapidly between 2000 and 2001. The books follow a group of teenagers through the romantic dramas and social pressures of being seventeen, with titles like For Real, Show Me Love, and Secrets and Lies capturing the emotional territory.
The series was published during the early 2000s YA boom and fits the format of its era: fast-paced, relationship-focused, and aimed at teenage readers who wanted to see their own experiences reflected in fiction.
